BY AND ABOUT WOMEN
Dr. Anna Howard .Shaw, president
of the National Woman's Suffrage
Association, says: "The wedding
ceremony should be cut out. It is
useless and has served its day. More
over, it does not fit; in with the mod
ern times and present-day conditions.
It is too old-fashioned. To me mar
riage is too sacred an institution to
permit any alloted promise. I have
always believed in making the cere
mony fit the occasion. In other words,
I have a different service for each
marriage. The principals consult me
beforehand and we prepare the
vows,"
